Nepal: Amid the controversy over Rahul Gandhi’s Nepal visit, a new photo of the Congress leader has surfaced on social media. Singer Saraswoti Khatri has shared the photo on Twitter and shared her experience of meeting Rahul Gandhi. As understood from her tweet, the singer was present at Sumnima Udas’s wedding and sang a few songs. The tweet has been retweeted by Congress leaders.

Rahul Gandhi’s Nepal visit has created a storm in Indian politics with BJP attacking the Congress and the Congress striking a counter-attack. In a video that emerged from Nepal, Rahul Gandhi was seen partying at a nightclub in Nepal. The Congress clarified the Congress leader was invited to the wedding of his friend. According to media in Nepal, Rahul Gandhi was in Kathmandu to attend the wedding of Sumnima Udas, who was a former correspondent of CNN in Delhi. Her father Bhim Udas was Nepal’s ambassador to Myanmar.

Though Rahul Gandhi visited Nepal in a personal capacity, the visit has irked BJP leaders for more than one reason. Going by Sumnima Udas’s past tweets, BJP leaders have questioned her ‘anti-India’ stand and asked why Rahul Gandhi has ties ‘only with those who are challenging India’s territorial integrity?’

After the nightclub video went viral, it was claimed that Rahul Gandhi was seen talking with a Chinese woman. Fact-checkers have busted the claim and confirmed that the woman with whom Rahul Gandhi was seen speaking to was a Nepali woman, a friend of bride Sumnima Udas.
